    Parliament adopted its position on a proposal to adjust the amounts allocated to member states under the Brexit Adjustment Reserve, a fund set up in 2021 to help them cope with the effects of the UK's withdrawal from the EU.

Once the amended regulation is adopted, the Commission can update the implementing decisions that set the final national allocations.

    InvestEU Fund strategic investments in the field of defence

    The Commission delegated regulation of 28 August 2025 broadens the definition of eligible strategic investments under the InvestEU Fund to include more defence technologies and products for military use, and extends eligibility to entities in associated countries or controlled by non-associated countries under certain conditions. Parliament rejected the objection, so the Commission measure goes ahead and the expanded defence investment rules will apply. Parliament had asked the Commission to refrain from using delegated acts to change InvestEU's scope and to submit any further changes as a legislative proposal under the ordinary legislative procedure.
